Greetings from California
Hi guys. So keeping it brief(sort of), I'm 15 and just started taking Spanish 5 months ago. It's my favorite class. :D Every day in math class(:yuck:) Starting at an hour I watch the clock intently and count down the minutes till Spanish. We are doing a presentation at the end of the year in which we tell our teachers what we've learned for our elective classes in which we can choose art or spanish(If you've got a C or below in the class you are forced to present on Spanish). I have a A- but still chose to present on Spanish in a heartbeat.
Of course my friends think I'm lame. :rolleyes: But whatever, and how am I supposed to talk about the concept of a color wheel or a painting of a cat for fifteen minutes?? :worried: And whenever I listen to native speakers talking, I write down words I don't know or text them to myself using my phone, then go home and put into translator haha!( i know online translators are only good for translating individual words, not full sentences and paragraphs) In Spanish class I always anxiously await for to hear which pages we are doing in our spanish book while my peers chat the whole time and get 12/50 on their tests come finals. Did I mention I actually snuck my Spanish book into my backpack and took it home with me(We are supposed to leave them at school). And I have a mini heart attack when someone pronounces "hay" like "hey". But anyhow haha, I'm really glad to join the forums and hope to get help from people who really know Spanish. |

I can't believe that.
How many mistakes I had there. I'm sorry, I believe that I don't reach the concentration that I should to have had in that moment. |
Que bueno que te guste el español. Vas a ver que es un idioma muy rico y hermoso. Y si sigues por acá te podemos convertir en todo un Hispanista, jeje. Aunque ya de hecho que lo eres de cierta forma por tu gran interés.
Ojalá y sigas con ese entusiasmo y que lo llegues a dominar. It´s good for you that you liked Spanish. You will see that is a language very rich and beautiful. And if you keep here (in the forum) we can convert you in a complete Hispanist, hehe. Although you are now in some way for your great interest. Let´s hope you will continue with the same enthusiam and you will get to dominate. |
¡BienvenidA, Jorjor! :)
Acabo de contestar en tu hilo del uso de "te" y pensaba que eras un chico, no una chica... Me alegro de que te guste el español, los perros y los caballos... A mí también me gustan los animales... en especial los gatos (solía tener en casa hasta 20 gatos... aunque ahora sólo tengo dos... que campan a sus anchas por los jardines...) También me gustan las tortugas, los búhos y los halcones... Si te gustan los animales, hay un programa, "El hombre y la Tierra" que puedes ver en vídeo en español... (en Internet). (Let me know if you have any question on my Spanish above, I just went on a roll... and maybe used few words above your level... but ask anything you need clarification and learn as much as you want... or until your heart is content!) Good to have you in the forums! Have a nice journey in your path to knowledge! :) [Hey, and don't hesitate on correcting my HEnglish, I am not a native, and I may make the most embarrasing blunders :footinmouth: !] ;) |
Usted hablas Inglés muy bien, JPablo. :) Perfecto entiendo. :)

I include few corrections to your Spanish. (Note that inglés [English] is lower case in Spanish.) Usted habla Also, if you don't want to be "formal" and more friendly, you can use "Tú" [Tú] hablas inglés muy bien, JPablo. :) Lo entiendo perfectamente. :) [I understand it perferctly.] |
I will fix them when I see them, the corrections to my Spanish are wonderful, and very appreciated.

Can someone merge this post to my previous one? I don't know how to do it. :( |

Would it be also okay with "'ve"?, I've included a few corrections to your Spanish. |
Sí, está bueno tambien. :)

Quote:
You use "bueno" for something like "el pastel está bueno" ("the pie is good [tastes good]") If something is "okay" you use, "está bien". |
Thanks a lot :).
Estoy voy despacho mi libro español ahora. Hasta luego. :) |
You are welcome!
(I don't quite get your sentence... give the English and I can give you an accurate Spanish, when you come back!) |
Oops! (I told you I was bad!) :D
I am going to study my Spanish book now, See you later. I should have used estudio instead. Let me try again... Voy a estudiar mi libro de español ahora. |
Voy a + infinitive
"Voy a estudiar mi libro de español ahora." "Voy a comer una hamburguesa." |
